Reginald Daniel SHERRIN
His father was Daniel Sherrin, also an artist. He was born at Seasalter, near Whitstable, Kent, on 5th April, 1891. Sherrin served in the First World War; in the Second he worked in a munitions factory in Rochester.
Finding that his pictures sold easily, he did not hold exhibitions of his paintings, and established his reputation with moorland and coastal scenes in gouache, in a style resembling that of Frederick John WIDGERY. He painted frequently in Cornwall. Sometimes he used pseudonyms, such as J WHITELY and DA NIEL. Sherrin moved to Devon in 1952, and died in 1971.
